Hi REDZMAN,

Can you assist?

I'm upgrading the parts one by one on my turbocharged car
And I've got some questions on the turbo pistons

Target is successfully run the car to 16psi - 25psi
- do you have the matching Rods available
- availability main, head, studs
- for $349 is this a set
- Do I use a thinner metal gasket or another 2.00mm decompression gasket
- is there any other parts that I need to budget for


Car
Hyundai 1997 tiburon Turbocharged
stock cylinder head
stock pistons and rods
2.00mm decompression gasket
engine has been cleaned and overhauled
I've just ordered the KSPEC 65mm TB & Airram intake manifold & waiting for the delivery

it is best to post on the kspec forum as jonnie doesnt really see this

the tigerlilly pistons for that price are cast lower compression pistons
you wouldnt need a decompression gasket so you can remove that and just put a normal gasket

Hi Redzman,

I have on the KSPEC tiburon 96-99 section.
Waiting for reply.

I'm seriously going to buy the pistons and rods.
Have already purchased and paid for the 65mm TB and airram.

I've posted on the kspec.com forums.
Is it normally 1-3 weeks before I get a reply?

You posted your question after I checked the site on the 2nd. It's been 4 days since I've checked it and you did get an outside answer. I'm still getting an answer for you, but don't exaggerate on the deal.
